The Pick 3 Challenge - #8 Aug/Sep 2026

Hello Crafty Friends!  I hope you're staying cool in the pool, at the beach or in your craft space. We've been under extreme heat warning for several days so I go to Aqua Fitness Class in the morning and stay indoors the remainder of the day.

Today begins a new challenge month at The Pick 3 Challenge Blog.  The premise of the challenge is to choose at least 3 of the 6 provided elements and create using your choices.  The elements list for this month is:


 For my project, I've used the Insect, Stamping and Orange elements to create a card with a fun Caterpillar (or worm).  I've used the "Chompy" Stamp and coordinating die set from Your Next Stamp and colored this adorable insect using Copic Alcohol Markers. 


Unfortunately, Your Next Stamp closed shop in June 2024 and I'm embarrassed to admit this is the 1st time I've inked this stamp up.  It's amazing what one will find while digging through the stash!

The patterned paper are snippets from my scrap box, the image and sentiment are on foam pads and I've added black Dazzles to complete the design.


The team and I invite you to stop by the Challenge and play along.  Please help us spread the word about our challenge, we would love to see lots of creative entries this month.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
